How to treat sciatic back pain?
This problem is usually one of three things, 1) pinching a nerve root, 2)sacroiliitis causing a butt muscle spasms which then pinch the sciatic nerve or 3)posterior spine facet mediated pain. All three can be treated with injections but obviously the injections go to different places. Physical therapy can be helpful. Walking in water can be helpful. But it is important to define the exact cause of the pain. READ MORE

How to resolve my shoulder pain?
If you are not going to go have it evaluated wear a sling when active NSAIDs like ibuprofen 200-800mg per day, if no bleeding disorders, for the pain and inflammation.

I have a headache, neck pain, and back pain?
This is too easy, I suspect if you get X-rays, they will show degeneration of the spine specifically the facet joints. Things that will help are diclofenac patches or gel applied to painful areas. Also the bone and connective tissues don’t get sufficient oxygen to heal small or large injuries in a patient who smokes, thus the forces of degradation outpace healing so the net result is degeneration.

Write ReviewPatient Experience with Dr. Bethel
- Arlene
I went to Dr. Bethel several years ago, but I don't think I ever wrote a review about my experience with him. I had been having neck pain for several months. I had tried several medical treatments, but nothing worked. Then I read about PROLOTHERAPY. I had heard that Dr. Bethel was a proponent of that treatment. So I made an appointment with him. As I said this was several years ago. I went to him for a treatment. I had, probably, at least two treatments. After his treatment my pain was completely gone and has never returned. From my experience I highly recommend both Dr. Bethel and the treatment. There are no side effects, and Dr. Bethel is an incredibly kind and efficient doctor.
